Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? University of Turku, Turku, Finland invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs / fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.
Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Margin to the Centre: Rights Development, Transitional Justice and Indigeneity in the Nordics (MARCEN)
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a candidate with a master’s degree in law, history, indigenous studies, political or social sciences, with a research interest in legal history and indigenous studies. The doctoral researcher will be expected to advance their own research and contribute to the activities of the MARCEN project and the Faculty of Law. The doctoral researcher should be fluent in English and proficient in at least two of the following languages: Norwegian, Swedish, or Finnish.
Application Deadline: 2.6.2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Photosynthesis
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a candidate to undertake a PhD project on the regulatory mechanisms of membrane potential in photosynthetic cells. Photosynthesis is enabled by an electrochemical membrane potential, or proton motive force, which is generated by electron transport reactions in thylakoid membranes. The main focus of the project is on carrying out a fundamental research project with the aim of understanding the molecular mechanisms of how photosynthetic bacteria regulate the proton motive force across their thylakoid membranes. We are also interested in answering how this allows cyanobacteria to survive in changing environments, and in applying this knowledge to optimising solar-powered sustainable biotechnologies.
Application Deadline: 27 March 2025

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in atomistic simulations of phase-change memory materials
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, the aim is to develop a complete framework for ion-irradiation simulations in phase-change memory materials in order to build a comprehensive theoretical perspective on the effects of radiation damage on these materials, and therefore facilitate their design for integration in environments where exposure to radiation is a factor. The potential candidate will perform large-scale machine-learned driven molecular-dynamics simulations of ion irradiation in phase-change materials, to obtain realistic models and evaluate the resilience of the irradiation-induced effects.
